[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#695221: xcp-xapi: xe pif-reconfigure-ip doesn't work with non 255.255.255.0 subnet netmask

[Marc Lebel]

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-13
Severity: critical

I get this bug when installing XCP and configuring the network portion of it.

When I issue the following command:
xe pif-reconfigure-ip uuid=$PIF_UUID mode=static IP=10.0.0.10 netmask=255.255.255.240 gateway=10.0.0.1 DNS=10.5.1.2,10.5.1.3

My network interface looks like this (Broken):

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:ec:24:c7:43
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1942287 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1651769 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1808351392 (1.6 GiB)  TX bytes:1811952536 (1.6 GiB)
          Interrupt:21 Base address:0x4000

xenbr2    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:ec:24:c7:43
          inet addr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1941758 errors:0 dropped:9 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1651725 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1780637266 (1.6 GiB)  TX bytes:1809322340 (1.6 GiB)

I lose total network connectivity. And this is bad since I usually configure this remotely.

The only way I could get it working was with the following command:
xe pif-reconfigure-ip uuid=$PIF_UUID mode=static IP=10.0.0.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.0.0.1 DNS=10.5.1.2,10.5.1.3

And my network interface looks like this (working):

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:ec:24:c7:43
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1945714 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1651770 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1808603886 (1.6 GiB)  TX bytes:1811952596 (1.6 GiB)
          Interrupt:21 Base address:0x4000

xenbr2    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:ec:24:c7:43
          inet addr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1945174 errors:0 dropped:9 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1651725 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1780827498 (1.6 GiB)  TX bytes:1809322340 (1.6 GiB)

And I get network access this way.
The problem is that my network isn't configured like this and I don't want to change it just to accomodate this setup.

I also tried with other subnetmasks such as /25 /26 /27 ... and none of them worked except for /24.

Any help is appreciated!
